2 Reaction Mechanisms

3 Consider the following reaction: 4 HBr (g) +O 2(g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) There are five reactants… Typically more than 3 molecules colliding at any one time is very improbable. So reaction having 5 reactants in the bal. equation must occur in more than one step. Even a reaction containing 2 or 3 molecules can occur in more than one step. The actual sequence of steps which make up an overall reaction is called a reaction mechanism!

4 Mechanism 1. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast PE Reaction Path

5 Mechanism 1 Cancel out identical formulas to get the overall equation. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast PE Reaction Path

6 Mechanism 1 Cancel out identical formulas to get the overall equation. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast PE Reaction Path

7 Mechanism 1 Cancel out identical formulas to get the overall equation. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast PE Reaction Path

8 Mechanism 1 Intermediates are produced and then consumed and cross out from right (first) and left (second). HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast PE Reaction Path

9 Mechanism 1 What is left is the overall reaction. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast PE Reaction Path

10 Mechanism 1 What is left is the overall reaction. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast 4HBr (g) +O 2(g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) PE Reaction Path

11 Mechanism 1 Step 1, which is the slow step, is called the rate determining step and has the highest activation energy. HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast 4HBr (g) +O 2(g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) PE Reaction Path

12 Mechanism 1 HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast 4HBr (g) +O 2(g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) A potential energy diagram for this reaction might look like this. PE Reaction Path

13 Mechanism 1 HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast 4HBr (g) +O 2(g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) A potential energy diagram for this reaction might look like this. PE Reaction Path

14 Mechanism 1 HBr (g) +O 2(g) → HOOBr (g) slow HBr (g) + HOOBr (g) → 2HOBr (g) fast 2HOBr (g) +2HBr (g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) fast 4HBr (g) +O 2(g) →2H 2 O (g) +2Br 2(g) highest A potential energy diagram for this Mechanism has three humps The slow step has the highest Ea PE Reaction Path Ea Ea(rev)

15 The Rate Determining Step The slowest step in the reaction mechanism is called the rate- determining step. It has the highest Ea. To increase the rate, you must increase the rate of this step. Increasing the rate of a fast step will not increase the rate of the overall reaction.

16 Identifying a Catalyst in a Mechanism How to find a catalyst in a reaction mechanism?? A catalyst is used in one step; it speeds up the reaction, and then is regenerated in a later step. Therefore, a catalyst will cancel out but will be first found on the left side (with reactants) in an earlier step then on the right side.

17 Identifying a Catalyst in a Mechanism A catalyst is not consumed in the reaction. It is used in one step; it speeds up the reaction, and then is regenerated in a later step. A catalyst will cancel out but will be on the left side in an earlier step then on the right side. C→ →C

70 Reaction Intermediate Notes: An intermediate doesn’t accumulate (like a product) because as soon as it is formed, it gets used up again. Intermediates are not necessarily unstable (in other circumstances, they may last a while). An activated complex is very unstable and short-lived. It doesn’t usually obey bonding “rules.”

77 PE Diagram for a Reaction Mechanism Notes: each “hump” is a step the higher the hump (greater Ea), the slower the step the highest hump (greatest Ea) is for the RDS AC’s are found at top of humps, intermediates in middle “valleys”, products in the final “valley” the Ea for the forward overall rxn is vertical distance from reactants to top of highest hump

78 PE Diagram for a Reaction Mechanism The Ea for the overall forward reaction is the difference in energy between the reactants and the top of the highest peak.
